Legal Question in Family Law in California
Divorce in America
I am married to an American woman
(we were married in California where
she now resides again) and our
relationship ended over six years ago.
We have not lived together at all in
that time and I am a British citizen,
based in the UK. She was meant to
sort out a divorce but she has not
done this yet. Is it possible for me to
action this remotely and will it be
quite straightforward as the marriage
has not been active for a long time?

Re: Divorce in America
Yes. I have handled such cases a number of times. If there are no issues other than simply terminating the marriage, no problem, it all gets handled via the paperwork submitted, no one will need to personally appear in court. Even if she were to contest something, like demand property division or request spousal support, these issues are often handled via the paperwork with your written declaration and evidence, and the court can and generally will accomodate you being available by telephone.
